Eileen Laura Johnsen

Oct 29, 1927 – Apr 14, 2018Eileen/Mom/Grandma/Aunty Aunty, left us peacefully in Abbotsford Hospital, surrounded by her family in a room full of love.

Born and raised in Edmonton, Eileen moved to Vancouver as a young woman where she met and married her life’s love, Ernest Johnsen.

Raising their family in Langley, Eileen spent her days caring for her children, niece and nephews and many neighborhood friends. Days at the beach, fresh baked goodies or just a friendly ear are some of the childhood memories we all share.

In her later life, she kept busy with many crafts and home based businesses. Upon retirement they moved to Abbotsford. It was here that Eileen started her many years of volunteer work with the Abbotsford Seniors Peer support group and Hospital Auxiliary.

She loved to travel to visit her sons and her grandchildren in San Diego and Maui. While at home in Abbotsford, her family and grand children filled her time with many adventures and her home with visits.
